Inside: Burnt smell in the microwave? Try this simple tip on how to get burnt smell out of microwave. It will make your microwave smell disappear.

My teenager loves popcorn. It’s not uncommon for him to have 1-2 bags of microwave popcorn a day. Unfortunately, that means occasionally something happens and we end up with burnt popcorn. The smell of burnt popcorn is pretty unpleasant. The smell of burnt popcorn in the microwave is awful.

Luckily, I have now become an expert on how to get burnt smell out of microwave. I have done it so many times and my simple trick makes such a difference. If you are dealing with a burnt smell in the microwave check out this easy trick on how to get burnt smell out of microwave.

To start with if you have burnt food in the microwave you will want to remove it. If the food isn’t contained then when it burns it may get on the sides and ceiling of your microwave. If you have burnt food I recommend using this trick to clean your microwave. When you don’t remove the burnt on food then it will still continue to smell.

After you remove the burnt food or if you don’t have any burnt food (like the popcorn stayed in the bag) then you can move on to the super easy step. Just take a couple of paper towels and get them pretty wet. You can squeeze them out a little but make sure there is plenty of moisture left in the paper towel.

Then add about 5-10 drops of lemon essential oil to the paper towels. Place the paper towels in the microwave and run it for about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Make sure you stay close by because you don’t want your paper towel to completely dry while it is in the microwave.

When the microwave is finished running let the paper towel sit in the microwave for another minute or two. The microwave will get all steamy and fill with the awesome smell of lemon. So much better than the burnt smell in your microwave.

After a few minutes open up the microwave and take the paper towel and really give the inside a good wipe down. This should completely get burnt smell out of the microwave. Your microwave (and kitchen) will smell like fresh lemons instead of burnt food. If your microwave still has a burnt smell then add more water to your paper towel and a few more drops of lemon essential oil. Pop it back in the microwave for another minute or two.

I am always amazed at how well this works. With just a few minutes time you can get rid of the burnt smell in the microwave. Want to see some other easy cleaning tricks? Check out how to clean your oven glass without chemicals.
